Sonic Colors vs The Basement Collection

Sonic Colors is a platforming adventure starring Sonic the Hedgehog as he battles Dr. Eggman in an intergalactic amusement park. The game blends 3D third‑person runs with side‑scrolling sections and introduces Wisps, alien power‑ups that grant new abilities. Released worldwide for Wii and Nintendo DS in November 2010, the title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, appealing to younger gamers and families with its colorful visuals and accessible difficulty.

The Basement Collection brings together seven of Edmund McMillen’s most beloved Flash titles, each rebuilt with enhanced graphics, new music tracks, and refined controls. Players can experience the quirky physics of Triachnid, the experimental puzzles of Coil, and the challenging platforming that led to Super Meat Boy, all in one package.
